Newstalk presenter Dr. Ciara Kelly has given an update on her Coronavirus diagnosis.
The radio host revealed to listeners on Wednesday that she was broadcasting live from her hot press – because she had tested positive for COVID-19.
On the show the presenter told how she had a “sore throat” and is “never really sick”, so she knew something was wrong.
Giving an update hours later, Ciara described the virus as feeling like a bad flu.

“Day 5 of the Coronavirus,” she told her followers via Twitter.
“I’m genuinely grateful to you all for being so nice and it means something, the support. I had no idea that this was coming and that I would be hit early on with it.”
The broadcaster explained that she will continue to do her show from her hot press.
“I will stay on-air as I’ve said and I will continue to do that as long as I can,” she said.
She also told followers what it has been like having the disease so far.
“It’s like having a bad dose,” she explained. “I know some people will obviously be worse and some people will be without symptoms but I have what feels like a lousy flu,” she added.
“I will get through it, I will come out the other side of it and I will be fine I have no doubt,” she added.
